DEFINITION

Classification: 24/652

Having slidably connected, nonself-biasing interlocking component:

(under subclass 629) Receiving member having its relatively movable engaging or guiding component connected to its other engaging or guiding component by two distinct, rigid* or semirigid* formations which (1) are each integral with or fixedly attached to a different one of the components, and (2) have mutually cooperating surfaces both (a) sliding relative to each other and (b) restricting the relative motion of the moving component to substantively a single primary direction between its interlock and noninterlock positions, and further wherein the relatively movable

component is not biased along the primary direction into or out of interlocking engagement with interlocking structure of the projection by it's own resiliency.
